Dear all,

Currently, in order to obtain tailored command scripts, I found the following solution :

A template test.bxs file :

<commands>

  <open name='${DBNAME}'/>

  <xquery>

        <![CDATA[

                (/document)[1]

        ]]>

  </xquery>

  <close/>

</commands>

A bash script test.sh:

#!/bin/bash

DBNAME=de-dpma-u-meta

eval "cat <<EOF

$(<$1)

EOF

" | basex -c-

And then call :

./test.sh test.bxs

Could it be possible for the variable bindings to be applied also to script commands,

So basex  –bDBNAME=de-dpma-u-meta  test.bxs

does the whole job ?

that would work also for commands’ sequences like :

<set option=’bindings’>…..

<execute> or <run>

Merci !

Best regards,

Fabrice
